In about:config, you can set the flag
browser.compactmode.show
to true.Then if you right-click on the toolbar and select "Customize Toolbar...", there's a dropdown "Density", which now contains an entry "Compact (not supported)".
This compact mode was part of the previous Firefox design (Photon) and was declared unsupported with the latest redesign (Acorn), presumably because one central design element of Acorn is the tall tabs, which can show text hints under the tab title, like "PLAYING" to indicate that this tab is playing audio, or "MUTE TAB" if you then hover over the favicon/speaker icon.
Oh that thing. Yeah I had set the compact mode though other ways, with the "userChrome.css" file, where I have better control with more possibilities. I was just not sure what he was referring to, as the opposing example with "Pocket" confused me. (Also tagging @boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net for the reply, so I don't need to spam for every reply. Hope that's the correct approach.)
Interesting, got the message
